Happiness cannot last forever and it may be due to everything from the weather to the size of your bank account.

We’re not suggesting that you can reach a permanent state called “happiness” and remain there. But there are many ways to get out of the path of anxiety, anger and sadness into a state of happiness once or even several throughout the day.

Practice mindfulness. Be in the moment. Instead of worrying about your family, focus on the here and now----the food, the company, and the conversation.

Laugh out loud. Researchers at the University of California Irvine, tested 16 men who all agreed they thought a certain videotape was funny. Half were told three days in advance they would watch it. They started experiencing biological changes right away. When they actually watched the video, their levels of stress hormones (激素) dropped significantly.

Make a list. There’s nothing like writing down your tasks to help you organize your thoughts and calm your anxiety. Checking off each item provides a great sense of fulfillment.

An Australian researcher is urging parents to load up their teenager’s backpack and make them walk to school.

Professor Leon Straker says students who walk or cycle to school are less likely to have back and neck pain. But the study of 1,202 Western Australian 14­year­old found that 72% of students travelled to school by car or bus. Straker says the study suggests walking or cycling while carrying a schoolbag helps improve trunk (躯干) and spinal (脊柱的) muscle strength.

This helps reduce back pain because greater muscle strength improves support for the back during load carrying .Despite advocating that parents get their children moving,Straker warns bag load should not exceed (超过) 15% of body weight.

Straker says the study also stresses that neck pain is as common as back pain among young teenagers. This is an area that has been largely ignored,he says,but can be an important indicator of neck pain into adulthood.

For the study,students were asked a series of questions such as how long they carried their bags for,how they carried their schoolbags,the method of travel,and their perceptions(感觉) about the bag’s weight.

Straker says about half of all participants experienced back and neck pain,with slightly more females reporting neck pain. However,the gender (性别) difference may also be due to the fact that females have lower pain tolerance.

Studies from the 1980s found carrying a bag over one shoulder was most common among teenagers. However in this study 85% of participants carried their bag over both shoulders.

Straker believes the change has been driven partly through education campaigns,but also by increasing fashion status of backpacks and improved design.

A.reduce the load of their children’s schoolbags

2.If a child weighs 40 kilograms,the weight of his schoolbag should be________.

A.most of the students in Australia walk to school

B.neck pain is uncommon among young teenagers

C.walking while carrying a backpack helps reduce back pain

D.males are more likely to experience back pain than females

PALO ALTO, California------"Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter------ even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise," US researchers said last week.

  A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds(0.9kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.

  "The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity," said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician(儿科专家) at Stanford University.

  "American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years," Robinson said.

  In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies‘ annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third.

  Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet or took part in any extra exercise.

  "One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories," Robinson said.

  "Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more," Robinson said.

1.The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that ________.

A.children will get fatter if they eat too much

B.children will get thinner if they eat less

C.children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TV

D.children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV

2.According to the passage, the time American children usually spend on watching TV_____.

C.doubled in the last twenty years

D.is more than on any other activities

3. The time children spend on TV viewing every day is suggested to be about ________.

A.six hours

B.eight hours

C.three hours

D.one hour

4.Which one of the following is right?

A.Children usually eat fewer while watching TV.

B.Children usually eat more while watching TV.

C.Children eat the same amount of meals while watching TV.

D.Children usually eat nothing while watching TV.

5.Why can watching TV increase kids’ weight according to the passage?

  B. They burn off fewer calories.

  C. They change their diet while watching TV.

D. Both A and B.

While learning the science lessonsI used to get a doubt—why earnosetongue and eyes should be called as special sensesThe basic reason is that these are the channels through which we maintain contact with the surroundings.Though apparently it may feel like these are individual sensory organsthey do show some connectivity.Interestinglyour hearing is less sharp after we eat a heavy food.Isn’t it good for a sound nap after a stomach?full mealThat does not mean we go deaf after a mealbut the hearing pitch(强度) does change after a heavy meal.

We usually give credit of the taste to our tonguebut do you know that unless saliva(唾液) dissolves somethingour tongue cannot recognize the taste of the food eaten.Taste is nothing but the food chemicals dissolved in the saliva being sensed by the taste buds present on the tongue.Try_to_dry_off_your_tongue_and_mouth_with_a_tissue_paper_and_then_taste_something.

Women are much better smellers than men.They are born with this characteristic ability and can correctly pinpoint the exact fragrance of the sample.We all can store almost 50,000 different scents(气味)which are strongly tied to the memories.

Pupils(瞳孔) do not respond to light alonebut to the slightest bit of noise around too.Thus surgeonswatchmakers and those professionals who have to perform a much delicate job do prefer to have a sound?free environment.Even a small noise can dilate(扩大) their pupilschange the focus and blur(使模糊) their vision.If you do not wear glasses or contact lens due to having a 6/6 visionyou are just among the one third of the human population.It is now statistically proved that only one third of the population has perfect visionrest all are either wearing glasses or are trying to read with a compromised vision.

Each and every one of us has a particular or individualistic or characteristic smellwhich is unique to usexcept for the identical twins.This smell is very subtle(微妙的) yet can be sensed even by a newborn.It may be due to this scent that the newborn recognizes the presence of his parents around.Many of us can pinpoint the smell of our significant friends and colleagues.A significant part of this phenomenon is guided by genetics but it is also modified by the environmentdiet and personal hygiene.This all together creates the unique chemistry that is individualistic for each person.

1.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ________.

Aafter a full meal our hearing is as good as before

Ball sensory organs are connected and can be exchanged

Csensory organs’ functions can never be changed for their particular character

Dwe feel and learn about the world around us through our eyesearsnose and tongue

2.What is the text mainly about?

AThe functions of sensory organs.

BThe connectivity of sensory organs.

CA newborn’s senses of the sensory organs.

DThe differences of senses between women and men.

3.What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?

AOur tongues can’t be dried while eating something.

BIf your tongue is dried without any saliva on itit will not work.

CA tissue paper is the only thing that can be used to dry our tongues.
